Every night Todd and I help the kids get their pajamas on, tuck them into bed and read them a story. It's one of our favorite times of the day. When I heard about The Pajama Program, I immediately knew I wanted to make a donation, but I felt like I wanted to do more than just that.
The Pajama Program was founded in 2001. It's mission is to deliver new pajamas and books to the most neediest of children around the world. These are the children in shelters, group homes, foster care, and other temporary living quarters while they await adoption. Many of these children have been neglected, abused and/or abandoned. Some of these children have never owned a pair of pajamas or a book before.
It was with this in mind that Todd and I decided we were going to have a drive for The Pajama Program. We put together a flyer. Todd used his February money to pay for the flyers in hopes that by creating the flyers we could turn his money into much more to help these children. Our kids school graciously agreed to allow us to have the drive there, and to circulate the flyers to all the parents. The drive is scheduled to be held the week of March 24. In honor of the program the staff and the kids are being encouraged to wear their PJ's on March 25.
